5.0 out of 5 stars Pin a Star on This One, June 23, 2000

By A Customer

This book is not only easy to use, providing all supplies along with crystal-clear insructions, but the results are also spectacular. Whenever I wear a pin in my hair, people ask about it, and always respond, "You MADE that?" The only complaint I have is with the dragonfly instructions. It looks much better to use two E beads with a faceted bead in the middle for the body and tiny seed beads for the eyes. Look at the pictures to get ideas for your favorite construction. The pictures in this book are a true inspiration. I love making these pins and have become an addict.

4.0 out of 5 stars Do it yourself hair art, December 6, 1999

By	shelba Durston (California Wine Country) - See all my reviews

As a mom of a 10 year old girl, I appreciated the clear instructions and ideas in this book. Any child who has mastered the "beadie buddies" with pony beads can decorate bobby pins with the dazzling beads in this book/kit. Besides building self esteem and a sense of accomplishment, these creations can take the place of hair ornaments that can become costly. The patterns in the book could be adapted to other sizes of beads for camp necklaces, too. This is one to have fun with together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun, December 13, 1999

By A Customer

I bought this book hoping to learn a new skill--and I did. The instructions are simple to follow, and quite varied, enabling the reader to make a wide assorment of designs. Most importantly, all materials needed come with the book. Although I purchased additional beads, wire, and pins so as to not yet take the supplementary package apart, I was still able to make some beautiful hair assortments. What's great is that these bobby pins take so little time to make, and they can be customized to an infinate extent.
